Midnight Mythic Plus Talent Builds for Discipline Priest

Oracle Mythic+ Voidweaver Mythic+
2.1.

Oracle Mythic+ Build for Discipline Priest

This build is your primary build for Mythic+ content. This build focuses on pushing Atonement Icon Atonement healing in the form of the Expiation Icon Expiation and Inescapable Torment Icon Inescapable Torment pet package. This build also brings solid Void Shield Icon Void Shield strength via running the Eternal Barrier Icon Eternal Barrier and Inner Focus Icon Inner Focus path. Additionally, as all of your Penance Icon Penance casts with this build are against allies, this build brings strong single target healing throughput.

Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the build directly into your game!

2.2.

Voidweaver Mythic+ Build for Discipline Priest

This build is an alternative build for Mythic+ content. Providing a strong amount of output both with every Shadow Word: Death Icon Shadow Word: Death cast as well as your Entropic Rift Icon Entropic Rift windows, this build provides consistently solid Atonement healing options at the cost of weaker single target healing output.

Utility of Discipline Priest in Midnight

Interrupts, Stuns and Stops Other Utility
3.1.

Interrupts, Stuns, and Stops

Discipline Priest does not have access to an interrupt ability as is the cast for most healers.

Psychic Scream Icon Psychic Scream gives us the capability to fear a group of enemies. This is our only form of AoE crowd control, so utilizing it to interrupt or disrupt large groups of enemies makes it immensely valuable.

Shackle Horror Icon Shackle Horror provides a potential single target CC. Always be on the lookout for Undead/Aberration enemies to utilize this crowd control ability.

Dominate Mind Icon Dominate Mind grant us to capability to control an enemy for a short period. In most cases, this does not provide significant value, but there have been times in the past where dungeon or raid enemies had extremely powerful spells we could cast by utilizing these abilities.

3.2.

Other Utility

Dispel Magic Icon Dispel Magic allows us to dispel buffs and effects off of enemy targets. This can be valuable in many situations where the buffs on various enemies can make them either significantly more threatening via damage increases or a lot harder to kill via damage reductions.

Improved Purify Icon Improved Purify alters our default magic dispel to also remove Disease effects. How useful this is heavily relies on the content you are doing, but in situations where there are disease effects being applied to allies, this utility can have immense value.

Mass Dispel Icon Mass Dispel may be one of our most powerful pieces of utility. The ability to remove magic debuffs from an entire group of allies or from a group of enemies with a single cast is immensely powerful. Many mechanics in both dungeons and raids have been trivialized by this spell over the years, and it will likely remain to do so in the future.

Power Infusion Icon Power Infusion is an immensely powerful spell available to us in our talent tree. This ability allows us to provide a significant haste buff to a single player on a two-minute cooldown, most often used on an ally DPS player, especially when considering Twins of the Sun Priestess Icon Twins of the Sun Priestess.

Power Word: Fortitude Icon Power Word: Fortitude, while not the most interesting piece of utility, is very valuable in many situations. Keep this buff active on your group at all times.

Discipline Priest Mythic+ Rotation

Regardless if you are playing Oracle or Voidweaver, your primary rotation will involve around the usage of Shadow Word: Death Icon Shadow Word: Death as your primary output button, even outside of execute range. The raw damage of the spell itself, the damage from Expiation Icon Expiation (triggered 3 times for full value per cast via Death's Torment Icon Death's Torment), and the Inescapable Torment Icon Inescapable Torment damage from our various pets provides this spell an incredible amount of output potential.

Additionally, our new Apex Talent, Void Shield Icon Void Shield, is incredibly powerful for its raw shielding amount; the fact that it applies 3 Atonement Icon Atonements at once; and the reflect portion from Master the Darkness Icon Master the Darkness.

For specifics and in depth explanations around our rotation, please check out our dedicated rotation page found below.

6.

Gearing for Mythic+

The primary difference you may see between Discipline Priests gearing for Raid content versus Mythic Plus content is that, often times, Discipline players may look towards prioritizing Versatility a bit more as a secondary stat due to the damage reduction provided.

This does come at the cost of some HPS as Versatility is our worst stat for actual healing contribution. This is something that is primarily only relevant for very high level keys and not something we recommend to be copied in the vast majority of cases.
